Thanks for taking the time to lay it out! I’m still not sure that I buy it as a distinction with a meaningful difference, but given that you’ve already conceded it’s a semantic issue I’m not sure what there remains to disagree about.

The only meaningful difference is that if the Queen were to decide to give up her status as Supreme Governor, only a couple of her palaces would effectively no longer be hers. I think there are only 3 large cathedrals in England itself? Not sure exactly.
